Dr. Kelly patients: anyone willing to talk to my husband about your experience?

My husband is more nervous than I about surgery. VERY skeptical, and believes positive testimonials are likely staffers and coordinators.

If anyone who has had surgery with Dr. Kelly is willing to talk to my husband to calm his nerves and assure him that there are indeed, real people who have had genuinely positive experiences with Dr. Kelly it would be SOOO helpful for me. My surgery is 3 weeks away!

Please send me a private message if so, he is actually quite easy ta

I have my surgery scheduled for Jan. 3...and I am so excited! I have been on my WLS surgery journey for over a year now and know that this is the smartest way to go. I intitally was going for the lapband and through my insurance, but after seminars, consultations and tons of online research I knew that the VSG was the best WLS out there. And, as you pointed out...they have so much more experience performing VSG in Mexico than, al least the Dr.s here in Northern California. The Dr.'s here have a ton of experience with RNY and the lapband, but not as much with VSG.

I hope that you can get through to your husband...m,aybe he can go along with you and enjoy the nice hotel stay :rolleyes:

When is your surgery scheduled?

Had mine just over a month ago. IF you do need more people to talk to. I am sure you had lots of great responses already. I hope your husband has more faith in Dr Kelly, I did and went and left my children and parents at home so they could look after my children even though my mom really wanted to come with me.

My surgery is on January 3rd with Dr. Kelly too! I guess I'll see you there!!! I am so nervous!:(

Awesome! We will be Sleeve pals!!! Where are you coming in from?

Dr Kelly was my surgeon on Sept 1st. Not one problem. He's a class act. I completely trust him. My husband trusted me to do my homework and I did. LOVE MY SLEEVE!

I has vsg on Jan 6, 2011 with Dr Kelly. My hubby did not go but was super supportive. I am 2 pounds away from my goal. Let me know if I can talk to your husband or if he would like tow

Speak with mine!

It's so uplifting and reassuring to read all these responses of people who were so happy with their Dr. Kelly experience that they are willing to speak to my husband.

He has calmed down quite a bit, and has been more focussed on the fact that I'm so happy the date is approaching. He is worried, but a bit more about finances.

It's honestly calmed my fears quite a bit to read the responses, and I spoke to one lovely sleever on the phone last week. :)

I honestly just can't wait!
